Weekly News Issue 7.Pub Glenmoor & Winton Weekly News Issue 7 16th January 2015 Principal’s Message Welcome back to the summer term; I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter break. We have re‐opened the school fields this week and it is wonderful to see so many students enjoying the beer weather and taking advantage of the excellent school grounds we have at Glenmoor and Winton. New picnic benches are on order so students can eat their lunch on the field if they so wish in the near future. Good luck to all year 11 students as we draw ever closer to the summer GCSE exams. My message in assembly on Monday was to 'keep calm and carry on' as with structured revision and proper preparaon the summer exams will be a cause for celebraon amongst the year 11 cohort. I would like to apologise for any confusion caused around the opening of the Academies on Monday 20th April.

It outlines what information we need from you, and what you can expect in return from us. Across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we have 96 schools. The Council works in close partnership with them. The aspirations for our area are ambitious and include investing in our children and young people and enabling access to high quality education. We understand that moving up to Secondary or Studio school is an exciting experience for both children and parents. However, this transition can also be a challenging time for all as decisions are made about which schools to apply for - with this process then followed by the inevitable and anxious wait to see if the application has been successful. Similar to other areas, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has experienced increased demand for school places due to rising birth rates and movement of families. We have adopted an overall strategy for the provision of school places which includes looking at options for additional capacity at existing schools and new school provision.
